Yovani Gallardo v. Rockies – The sample size isn’t all that large (just 67 plate appearances), but current Rockies batters have hit just .263 against Gallardo. Plus, the Brewers’ youngster has been lights-out over his last four starts this season, posting a 1.55 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 29 innings. In other words, we don’t expect a repeat of his only other career start at Coors Field (2.2 innings, 11 runs … yikes).

Ben Sheets v. Cardinals – Sheets used to have regular battles against the Cardinals when he was a Brewer, so he’ll be plenty familiar with Busch Stadium. In this case however, familiarity might breed contempt, since St. Louis hitters have a career .309 average off Sheets. The biggest culprit is a predictable one – Albert Pujols – who is hitting .371 with four homers and 11 RBI in 70 career at-bats against Sheets.

Carlos Guillen, 2B, DET – Guillen entered Friday’s game with a robust .346/.386/.558 line in June, including two homers and 11 RBI in 14 games. He’s been starting regularly at second base for the Tigers, giving him positional versatility (OF, 2B) in most league formats. So why is he only owned in 18 percent of ESPN leagues and 29 percent of CBS leagues? His stint on the disabled list for nearly all of May likely scared off some owners who have since been slow to catch on that he’s back at a new position and raking at the plate. Don’t be fooled by last year’s .242 average – he was an unlucky .263 on balls in play last season, a number that has returned to its previous levels this year, coinciding with his newfound success. He’s been a top-10 second baseman since coming off the DL and should be owned in a lot more leagues.
